Hi infiant,

Here is my clumsy code which serves the need.

Pls test it thoroughly before using it in production.

1. place the script in the path just before the search path . In your case in will be "/".

2. change the size parameters according to your requirement.

3. Assumed that you have created directories "HEALTHY","UNHEALTHY" and "OTHERS" in the proper path.

Code:
path="/disk1/jvsh/TEST/TES/FORUM"

## Replace the above bold one with the search path


pres=`pwd`

find $path  -name "abc.data"  -size +1c -print > healthy_files.lst

find $path  -name "abc.data" -size -3c > unhealthy.lst

find $path  ! -name  "abc.data" > others.lst

for file in `awk -F"/" '{$NF=" ";print }' OFS="/" healthy_files.lst | sort -u`
do
echo "$file"
mv  "$file" /disk1/jvsh/TEST/TES/HEALTHY ##put your healthy dirpath
done

for file in `awk -F"/" '{$NF=" ";print }' OFS="/" unhealthy.lst | sort -u`
do
echo "$file"
mv "$file" /disk1/jvsh/TEST/TES/UNHEALTHY 
##put your unhealthy dirpath in place of bold
done


for file in `awk -F"/" '{$NF=" ";print }' OFS="/" others.lst | sort -u `
do
echo "$file"
if [ "$file" = "$path""/" -o "$file" = "$pres""/" ];then
echo "nothing"
else
mv "$file" /disk1/jvsh/TEST/TES/OTHERS 2>/dev/null
fi
done

##put your others dirpath in place of bold

rm healthy_files.lst unhealthy.lst others.lst
